TJ Maxx—Mount Vernon

Description:

TJ Maxx isn't just for moms looking for Prada slacks at a fraction of the cost or discounted Dooney & Bourke handbags (although if you spot one of these treasures, snap it up). TJs has lots of great name brands and other cool clothes (official NFL jerseys for a fraction of what they cost at Modell's), as well as major-name toys, games, books (like Melissa & Doug wooden toys for the little ones for less than half the price of the same toys at Try & Buy), and even musical instruments at major discounts (last season we spied a full-size acoustic guitar for 40 percent less than the same guitar at Sam Ash).
